Description:

I have a comfort book that I like to read when I prepare to meditate and I need more pages filled in it. Please write on a 3x5 index card your favorite prayer, calming words from a poem...anything that would comfort someone in an hour of need or when they are settling down to be in a quiet place. Decorating the card would be awesome. If you send me a copy of what you send to your partner, I will send you a copy of what I send to mine. Peace be with you!

i LOVE this swap idea!! i wish we had more partners tho (it would be really cool to collect these cards and put 'em in a little file box!) thanks for thinking of this!

I agree with the above. I could do more partners, as well. Should they be any type of prayer - Non denominational? Or Christian prayer? Just asking, as I don't want to send off something that will be thrown away.

good point kgeslab i am an atheist, but i love things from all denominations and non-denominational things....i find that i can take some sort of wisdom or comfort from just about any religioin or spiritual practice.....so whoever gets me as a partner-please don't censor yourself! :)

CelestialFreak 10/13/2007 #

Yeah, I'd go for sharing with more partners too... just a thought.

I absolutely adore the idea of a file box to put these in!

I guess I didn't want to overwhelm people by putting alot of partners b./c I get overwhelmed by swaps that have alot of people to send to. Also, I was thinking each index card would be handmade. Hmmm...what to do? What if everyone who sends one to their partner, in turn sends it to the person who sent it to them? That would give you 2.

Or, Oh, I know...I can email everyone, that would give everyone each others emails and then we could all exchange addresses that way? I'm thinking out loud. :)

I would think any spiritual wisdom or comfort would be wonderful. I would say don't censor...if it is too much for your partner, then they can decide. You are sharing something that is beautiful to you.

Ok gang...should I edit to make this more partners or shall we email tree our addresses and people can decide how many handmade cards they can handle sending?

I would also like more than 1 partner. How about 2 partners, and then you can optionally send back to who sent to you? I would think 2 would not be too overwhelming. :)

enakitty 10/14/2007 #

it is your swap, please do what is comfortable to you in regards to swap partners :) however, i would NOT like my email address given out

perhaps people who want more than one partner can post here saying so, and we can contact each other thru swapbot messages? (just an idea!)

anyways, i love the idea and thanks for thinking of it!

also....is an embelished card okay, or do we need to cut a card ourselves and start from scratch?

Tia 10/14/2007 #

Ok, I will edit the swap for two partners. :)

Second: The card is 3x5 size and it can be however you want to put your prayer on it with embellishments/or not, handwritten or not. You're the artist just keep the size to 3x5. Thank everyone for all the input.

For the record, anyone who sends me a card...I would love to exchange one with you. Send me your address through swap-bot and I will send you mine! :)

i started on my cards today! i think they are coming out really groovy! i'm excited about this swap! (i have a meditation/spirituality cabinet/shrine with all kinds of different religious and spiritual things....it will be so nice to have these cards to keep in there!)

I got a little carried away, but I hope my partners will enjoy the prayers. They're on the way.

Is anybody interested in swapping their prayers with me privately? I only got them from one of my partners so far. : ( I'd really like to have more prayers from people, please! PM me if you're interested.

Thanks!
